Rail Live! Madrid will now take place 30 November – 2 December 2020. The venue will be the same: IFEMA in the Spanish capital.
On 10 March the event organisers announced that Rail Live! Madrid – to be held on 31 March – 2 April – was to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Starting today, 16 March, the Spanish government is implementing a 15-day lockdown to curb the spread of the virus, as Spain is the second-worst affected country in Europe (after Italy) with just over 6,000 cases.
Rail Live! Madrid is organised by Terrapinn in partnership with Mafex, the Spanish railway association. In a joint statement they said:
“Our institutional support for the event remains as strong as ever. If anything, we are all more determined than ever to deliver a fantastic event.
“We will be working closely with all of you to deliver a fantastic agenda and show as we update the programme and shape of the event to take into account of new developments in the industry.
“We’d like to express our profound gratitude to our collaborating entities and our venue for working so hard so quickly on these new dates.
“We very much look forward to welcoming you to Madrid.”
